A Closer Look: 2016 Belle De Jour Power Planner | Mid-Year Review

Hello lovely ladies!

As you can tell, I chose to use one of the "most talked" about planners in the Philippines, the 2016 Belle De Jour Power Planner. I was hesitant to get this because it was quite difficult to decide whether this planner is worth the price or not, but after a long deliberation, I finally bought one for this year. Most of my yearly planners only cost more or less than Php 100.00 (approx. USD 2.50) so it was quite a stretch to buy a planner about 6 times the price of my usual planner.

Beyond the Comfort Zone | Sharing a Part of Me

During the past few weeks, I`ve been getting the vibe that it was time to share a part of me to the people around my real life. Sharing a blog, a part of one`s self, is not an easy thing to do for a person like me living a reserved and guarded life. However, I`ve been noticing that to actually be successful in blogging and writing, I needed the right readers and sincere supporters.

🏆 Memorable Moments: Top 3 Unforgettable Scenes from Descendants of the Sun 🏆

Annyeong Haseyo!


During the past few weeks, I`ve shared with you my top favorite sweet and funny scenes from the Korean drama "Descendants of the Sun". For this post, I`ll finally share the most unforgettable scenes in the series.

1.) "Meeting Him Again"

Despite the recent parting of Captain Yoo Si Jin and Dr. Kang Mo Yeon, this scene raised the hopes of the viewers. This first reunion of the couple is melodramatic, sensational and just amazing. The slow motion while Captain was walking closer to Dr. Kang Mo Yeon is just awesome. Also, the song  "Always" by Yoon Mi Rae which was played is so fitting to the scene.

🏆 Memorable Moments: Top 5 Funny Scenes from Descendants of the Sun 🏆

Annyeong haseyo!


Descendants of the Sun is a Korean drama that has gained a lot of admirers in the world. Despite being aired for only 2 months which started on February and ended on April, the admiration for this drama is still very prevalent most especially in Asia. Last week, I shared with you the "Top 5 Sweet Moments from 'Descendants of the Sun'" but today I`ll share with you the funniest scenes I have seen in all of the 16 episodes of this TV drama.


1.) "Red Velvet"

This scene reminded me of a popular Youtube video which features a performance by a Korean girl group in an all-boys school. It was really amusing which made this specific part really comical. It may be a part of the Korean entertainment industry`s culture to feature different artists and groups for a specific group of people like the performance of "Red Velvet" for the military.

🏆 Memorable Moments: Top 5 Sweet Scenes from Descendants of the Sun 🏆

Annyeong haseyo!

Descendants of the Sun is a Korean drama that first aired on February this year. It has gained widespread popularity all over the world. Last week, I shared with you a review of this drama. For this post,  I`ll be sharing with you my favorite sweet scenes from this TV series.

1.) "Forget This"

Despite the thrilling activities going on, this scene is particularly the top sweet scene on this list because Captain Yoo Si Jin (played by Song Joong Ki) showed his loving care and comfort towards the abducted Dr. Kang Mo Yeon (played by Song Hye Kyo) especially when he covered her eyes and told her to "forget" what was about to happen at 1:30 to 2:22 [of the video]. If you remember their first split in the drama, Dr. Kang Mo Yeon expressed that she and Captain may have different ideals since Dr. Kang Mo Yeon`s a doctor who diagnoses, treats and heals people while Captain Yoo Si Jin is involved in a profession that may require him to kill. This scene is appealing as it showed Captain Yoo Si Jin`s thoughtfulness and protectiveness towards Dr. Kang Mo Yeon`s sensitive feelings and "innocence" regarding the situation.
